Multiplayer Stamp Bonuses
All players who log in during August 2019 will receive: Players who have bought at least 12 Mobius Gift Boxes will receive: These can be equipped in the Social Tab: Edit Stamps.
 * Multiplayer stamp "Go Away!"
 * Multiplayer stamp "Grats!" (3rd Anniversary version)
 * Multiplayer stamp "I Love Mobius!"

Using one of these stamps during a battle in the Ring of Braves will revive your character from death with no penalty. It's a free, and you don't lose your "Undefeated" bonuses!


 * The effect will last from Aug 1, 2019 to Sep 2, 2019. "I Love Mobius" is effective until Oct 2, 2019.
 * There is a Phoenix Down logo in the corner of the stamp to indicate the effect is active.
 * Each player can use this once per battle, using their own stamp.
 * A second death -- or a player using a normal -- will still spoil the "Undefeated" bonus.

Available Prizes
Defeating Squall gains special event-only Components, tradable at the Item Exchange in the Ring of Braves for special prizes:

Any Squall Quartz you still have one week after the end of the campaign will be changed into other fire-based components.
